K-pop girl group ITZY has dropped its new English-language single, "Boys Like You," Friday, about a year after releasing the English version of the group's hit song, "LOCO."
The group's new single is a punk rock-style pop genre song and is co-written by Swedish songwriters Didrik Thott and Sebastian Thott, who wrote its previous song, "SNEAKERS."
"The song is about sending a message that 'I won't fall for a boy like you ever again' to the person who betrayed you," the group's agency, JYP Entertainment, said.
The five-piece group ― comprised of Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Yuna and Lia ― debuted in 2019 with the single, "Dalla Dalla." It soon shot to stardom as the first girl group of JYP Entertainment since TWICE, topping a local music show in 10 days with the song.
The group released a string of hit songs, including "Icy" (2019) and "Not Shy" (2020), and made it onto Billboard's main albums chart with its first feature album, "Crazy In Love," last October.
The quintet is having its first international tour, starting with Seoul in August and eight cities in the United States throughout November. It will have concerts in the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand in the coming year.
